^{Pay off your fines and donate to local food pantry}

LIBERTY, NY (February 3, 2012) – In celebration of Valentine’s Day this year, the Liberty Public Library is giving its patrons a chance to pay off overdue fines with food. 

All food collected will be donated to the local Interfaith food pantry.

This offer is good for one week only starting on Monday, February 13 and ending on Saturday February 18.

Here’s how it works:

– For every food item brought in, a patron’s existing fine will be reduced by $1. (For example: a fine of $4.40 = 5 food items.)

– Food must be unopened, pre-packaged & not past expiration date.

– No damaged items or dented cans.

– No perishable items.

– Food will be accepted for overdue fines only, not damaged or lost items.

This program is available at the Liberty Public Library only. 

For further information, feel free to call the Liberty Public Library at 845-292-6070.
